In April this year, the millionth MX-5 was born at Mazda’s Hiroshima plant; much fanfare and bowing ensued. And who would deny Mazda a bow, because to sell 1,000,000 cars over 26 years and four generations might sound pitiful compared to a similarly seasoned family hatch, but for a two-seater convertible, it’s a miraculous level of success. The MX-5 doesn’t just take the lion’s share of the rather bijou roadster market, it is the roadster market.
